Why Mercy is Hated, But Medic is Loved

- Two characters who are very similar in gameplay, but one has been consistently hated while the other one has been loved. Why?
Bit of a different video topic this time around. Something I've been meaning to make a full video on for a while. Plus I finally got a use for all the random OW footage I've collected.

Ironically, medic is the one with a personality, a fantastic personality, while mercy is just......the healer.
When you think about it the tf2 mercs are all stereotypes and overwatch filled with archetypes yet the tf2 cast who didnt need to be developed actually got good character development over the years without destroying those steroetypes while the overwatch cast faded away in popularity because they never evolved past those paper thin archetypes. Especially since the characters are suppose to be a main selling point for overwatch.
@@kophullloh516 It's a problem with a ton of series that introduce new characters way too quick.
Modern mortal kombat introduced new versions of previous characters in 9 but before fleshing them out had all of them killed and turned into goons. 10 tried to introduce new ones despite the fact we still really don't know anything about the characters their replacing or how they fit into the overall story.
For example Kabal in the new timeline is now a good guy ok interesting i wonder where they'll take th- and he's already dead. Then 11 says he was actually evil the whole time wow. Kung lao never has a canon interaction with kung jin and so on.
Overwatch tries to introduce you into a superhero universe with good vs evil plots but then introduces a character who doesn't fit the story in universe and aesthetically stands out in a bad way, yet since their new a ton of emphasis will be placed on them while old characters are still non characters or get retconned to fit into the newer mold.
And no revealing that the main thing about them is that their gay isn't the same as actual character development, blizzard.
@@kophullloh516 Which sucks too because Apex is a really fun game and doing well even once or winning is super super rewarding, you can feel the source engine blood pulsing through that game. If only the devs didn't fall the for modern FPS design pitfalls of ADDING MORE STUFF to distract from the fact that what you are presented with isn't all that interesting in terms of BR game design. Pathfinder, Octane, and Mirage are pretty interesting and cool characters though tbh.
@@superbrainz2357 As someone who unfortunately plays _League of Legends_ sometimes (albeit focused on the mobile version because I favor shorter games as a college student), that is also a problem I noticed. There's 165 champions, yet even with the rewriting of the lore, there are still champions that are just... kind of there.
It's a mixed bag: older champions have new lore that can either be an improvement or still as generic as the old ones (and unless the champion gets some sort of visual update, these changes aren't even reflected in-game), and out of those who got released after the reboot, for every interesting, fleshed-out champion, there's several generic ones.
To be fair to Riot Games, they do implement the lore more efficiently in the MTG-style spinoff of _League,_ but it's kind of sad that most of the focus of the main game goes to making skins for the more popular champions while ignoring those who are more interesting or those who need an update.

Mercy is Canadian confirmed
I totally agree that Medic has way more personality than Mercy. I don't play either game, but both are so popular that it's been impossible to avoid picking things up about them over time. So, what do I know about Medic? His personality, everything about what kind of person he is, can be found in a single video: "Meet the Medic." I'm not even considering anything fanmade for this, all of this was from one video. What is he doing? Joking with an awake patient whose entire chest cavity is open about _how he lost his medical license,_ shooing away a dove that he's lovingly named Archimedes after it lands in said open chest cavity (and caring more about Archimedes being dirty from that rather than his patient having a bird land in their insides), blowing up his patient's heart, having a living, talking head in his fridge, making his patient hold open their own ribcage, and on and on. When he enters the battlefield, he appears in beams of light accompanied by a choir, white doves fluttering out from behind him. Ah, a medic! A symbol of peace and healing! But it's completely ironic. A subversion of expectations. And that's why it's so funny! His segment ends with him again lit up by the sun, more white doves flying up from behind him, but he's standing on an entire mound of bodies that his experiment made happen. When he gets his "Meet the Team" closeup, he is smiling with maniacal glee, holding a bone saw. All of this is in a 4 minute video! 4 minutes, _jam-packed_ with character and entertainment. TF2 released in 2007, and there are still legions of fans of Medic to this day who like him so much they've produced endless amounts of fan content, ranging from artwork to videos to fics, and so much more. Hell, now, in 2023, there's been an entire-ass _movie_ made in SFM with him as a central character!
Now, what do I know about Mercy? What have I picked up about her character, who she is over the years I've been here and there exposed to her like I have been with Medic? Well, she's nice... A good doctor, is passionate about her job... She's attractive... Some of the first stuff I saw about her was the clip you used a few times, where she's descending from the heavens, reaching out her hand, almost a literal angel. And it isn't ironic, like with Medic. She is genuinely good and wants to help people...
...
And that's it. That's all I've learned about her. And most of the fan content about her that I've happened across is, uh, porn. Not much else.
ma gawd man
I agree with this character analysis very much! Medic, i feel, is SUPPOSED to be a subversion, like you said and you got that understanding on its head.
Holy sh*t that’s a long comment

I had a chance of playing Medic in TF2, and man, my team was like "PROTECT THE FUCKING DOCTOR AT ALL COST, DOES NOT LET HIM DIE"
And them is mercy, that is probably going like: "Why Mercy is dying? Thats bad"
I think it’s because the longer Medic is alive the more healing he can do. So you get to go on a rampage and be invincible. You protect Medic you get a power fantasy moment that can win the game. And the best part? If you protect medic you get to do the hurting 😊
Because a medic alive for 40 seconds is far more valuable than a 39.
Like, Litterally twice the value.
Same doesn't happen for Mercy really.
Mercy is the kind of character to sing "two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree."
Medic is the kind of person to cross a turtle and a dove with genetics and giving it a voice that sounds like the screams of the damned because
A) he wants to know if it's possible
B)he thinks it’s funny that everyone is horrified by it
and
C) because it would give Archimedes an extended lifespan.

Medic loves to hurt and kill people, and sees healing his allies as an unfortunate and necessary evil in order to achieve bloodshed.
And that is why medic is better!

That’s why I love Medic more. There’s something about the cruel irony of a guy who’s a ‘medic’, who’s a complete psychopath that loves bloodshed that I just love.
Imagine how much Overwatch would improve if it was splashed with a bottle of TF2's insanity?
Squeaky clean heroes can be boring, but insane mercs can be legends.
The best they have in that department is Junkrat, tbh.

It's an amazing feeling to find a heavy or soldier to use as a meat shield against someone. Hell, even scouts can be useful if you heal them.
As a Medic Main I can confirm this is my mindset
Mercy feels forced positivity, Medic feels like honest insanity.
K...kwisty? My long lost twin? Kwisted???
Ya meet some real weirdos on the internet am I right?
So "Mercy" is fake, and Medic is... More *real,* even if he's certifiably crazy? Though, if Mercy is just _trying_ to be good while knowing about and refusing evil, that's a whole other ballgame. Medic's still the guy who stole someone's skeleton while somehow leaving him alive, at least long enough for him to realize what happened.

I think a "dichotomous" character like Medic will always be more interesting than a straightforward one like Mercy. Even her name is so blatantly "I am good healing person." I feel like this is because we, as dichotomous human beings ourselves, find contradictory characters much more relatable. However, this isn't to say that ALL characters need to be gritty or psycho to be liked. I think it could've been as simple as, as you even suggested, making her past less than squeaky clean. Like perhaps she's so adamant on peace and doing no harm because she used to be violent, or she was exposed to great violence. Something like that to give her character more of a foundation for why she's so goody goody.
There is a reason as to why she's adamant in healing and that's because her parents, who were both doctors, were killed in a war. That would have been fine, but it leaves a lot to be desired. She's just one of several other goody-good characters in the roster, and that prevents her from standing out.
Btw, on the topic of her name, her real name is also very on-the-nose: *Angela* Ziegler. Amusingly, Medic's real name, Ludwig, means "famous in battle", very fitting for his proclivity to violence and just emphasizes the contrast of his character and chosen profession.

When enemy kills the team
Mercy: revive then leave
Medic: ze healing is not as rewarding as the hurting
Mercy heals people because she wants to.
Medic heals people as an excuse to experiment on them.
Mercy: Heroes never die!

Eins,Zwei and Drei is 1,2,3 in German
Just for the people who's asking

Fun Fact:
Medic's Vaccinator medigun is made partly out of a coffee machine
The Quick Fix is also a blender
The medigun is a jurry-rigged garden hose. And the Kritzkrieg is just a medigun filled with Crit-a-Cola.
@@Murmarine seems about right
Listen he has no medical license and therefore has no funding so he’s gotta use what he has layin around

I also love how in TF2, your playstyle for each class changes completely depending on certain weapons, while Overwatch has several characters similar to each other, but their loadout stays relatively same
Mercy: I’ll protect you
Medic: OKTOBERFEST!!!!!
BUT IT'S SEPTEMBER
Why is Medic loved? He outsmarted the devil himself, is extremely funny, keeps his teammates alive doing whatever it costs and...
He fought a wizard.
He died and he got back to life, he lost his medical license, he fought against a giant monster bread, he kill persons for fun ir for take them organs :/

"A dispenser does not count as a healer"
Uncle Dane will remember that
Well she said a primary way of healing because the dispenser has to be place in a specific area to be most effective, which could be miles away from where you are.
A dispenser is a healing SPOT! Medic is a healer that mobile. The dispenser can move, but it moving cuts off the healing till redeployed.
@@generalzeta7000 thats why they put it in chokepoints
Uncle Dane: ANGERY
Demo: It’s free real estate
While I don't really play Overwatch, I admit that I like the idea of Mercy putting on the "heroic angel" act to hide from her dark past is a good idea, so much so that it may remove some of the hatred.
In Mercy's lore they were seriously trying to push the fact that she was oh so empathetic and oh so good and oh so brilliant while for the Medic the healing was described as an "unintended side effect"
Competitive Mercy: "you guys secure the point, and I'll secure the ice cream!"
Competitive Medic: "you could not live with your own failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me...
Lmao
I literally read that with Medic's voice. Epic
Mercy is Kimi Raikkonen's pit crew?
One is extremely hot and the other is Mercy.
Medic is nothing to saxgineer tho
Medic is pretty fine
Moist i mean....true
Medic is hot, but Spy is hotter (no homo)

Mercy: Heroes never die! Medic: When the patient Woke up, his skeleton is missing, and the Doctor was never heard from again!”
"Anyway, that's how I lost my medical license."
Mercy: *saves multiple and many lives*
Medic: once stripped a dude of everything but his skeleton and he lived for like a few seconds
No I'm pretty sure he took just the skeleton

Mercy and medic fighting
Mercy: say hello to Adolf Hitler when you go to hell
Medic: been there and done it
More like:
Medic: he got a restraining order against me when I did so when I was there last time
Niiceee
Also Medic: *I WILL SAW THROUGH YOUR BONES*
*The reward is not as good as the hurting*
This fight will never end. Their weapons are useless.
I think they could have kept both the depth of Mercy ruining a man's life and having Moira still do what she did.
Perhaps something Mercy did crippled and disfigured him, lean into her hubris and his trust of her. Then in his despair, Moira says she can fix him and then turns him into Reaper. You still get more than an inch deep of depth for Mercy and you get to show off Moira being a insane scientist who experiments on people.
They actually said voice lines aren’t canon giving them an excuse to not add anything to her doing anything to Reaper
14:00 He also stole those doves from a prime minister's wedding
Medic doesn't really even own the doves, he stole it from a catering truck going to a prime minister's wedding and this just makes me love his character even more
Me too. I fricken have Archimedes on my medic's shoulder.
Mercy on the other hand, Uhm.. Try making a merch out of her.
@Magnus Von Braun archimedes description on the mann co store, and it also says archimedes looks back to that day as the best day of his life
@@F2103 so basically him and Medic are bros.
@@F2103 So they gave non human characters actual personality.
Mercy is trying to act like an angel.... Medic is a GOD
Well... Medic did say that "There's nothing wrong with playing god, as long as you are good at it"
Soo true. Want this comment to reach top.
Medic is a god
Tries you mean is
No No No… You Got It All Wrong!
Medic _Is_ A God!
medic: born in a time where hippocratic oath is a hippocratic suggestions. still found a way to lose right to use his medical lisence.
Mercy: revived someone, regrets since
Mercy: “Noooo hurting people is bad I’d rather heal every one and save lives
Medic: “I healed the man that will kill you. The healing is not as rewarding as the hurting”
Mercy: (Helps her team in the name of friendship and honorability)
Literal voice line from Medic: "My skill is WASTED on this team!"
"oh wait free ubercharge"
People?,I only see meatsheilds with guns?
"IM GOING TO SAW THROUGH YOUR D-"
Medic don't heal peole, he choose who will live
Ze healing is not as rewarding as ze hurting!
Honestly, I like how everybody hates the wholesome-nice healer but treasures the psychopath healer
Of course. A batshit mad scientist is far better than a goodie two-shoes wannabe angel
Way more interesting character build wouldn't you agree?
People can only really recall Mercy from one phrase "Heroes never die"
As for Medic?
"The healing is not as rewarding as the hurting"
"Oktoberfest!"
"I'm going to saw through your bones!"
"And thats how I lost my medical license"
This was only for the lines I remember, theres a hundred more

Medic is my favourite character, being a soulless monster (despite having 9 souls, one owned by the devil) he has a specific charm to him that makes him lovable
iirc medic sold his soul to the devil then surgically added 8 more (judging by his dialogue near the end of the most recent comic, pretty sure said souls were stolen from the other mercs), then died and sold another one of his souls to the devil for his ink pen, meaning he would have 2 of his souls owned by the devil
I’m surprised you didn’t bring Medic’s different Medi Guns, showing he can do more than just Uber like give crits, heal a lot faster, or reduce damage taken. But if picked you will lose out on Uber or the other options, so you have to strategize and which would be the best option for the round.
However Mercy can do both heal or buff damage with a click of a button.
